I’ve met Mike Patton twice… I don’t remember much about the first time, which was after a Mr. Bungle show in the early 90’s (I was 13, I’m 30 now…) other than he had this stun gun and he was giggling maniacally and threatening to zap me with it. I say “threatening”, but it was more like a joking thing. He just kept grinning at me. He also signed a picture I had brought with me. He used disappearing ink, the bastard. :) I also met Trey, who was very nice, but kind of scary to me at the time.
Fast forward about 9 years later… I went to see Mr Bungle when they were doing Sno-Core. I ran into Trey in the lobby after the show and he took me to the tour bus, where I met Mike again. He seemed rather annoyed, to be honest, but I think it was because there was an ultimate fanboy there who insisted the he sign every CD cover he had with him. I asked him if he remembered trying to zap me with a stun gun; he said he’s never had one. I told him, “Look man, I didn’t do drugs back then, i remember it pretty clearly.” He replied, “I have no clue what you’re talking about.” But he posed for a picture with me, which I have subsequently lost somewhere. (It wasn’t a good photo at all, anyway.)
I hope to meet him again in the near future. It seems like he’s chilled out about being a dick to his fans, as long as they treat him with respect, which I would, absolutely. :)
